I probably would not go to college again and would just study on my own or take shorter programs (ie. 2-year degree) If I did go again, this is what I would change: While in college, after the first year, I spent more of my time working on extracurricular activities than on classwork. The classwork was mostly boring and not very practical while I learned much more on the extracurricular stuff. I would still do that. I did take some classes not related to Comp Sci and don't think they really helped and were just a waste of money. I left college with $35k in student loan debt and would try to avoid debt or take on much less. I would have gotten part-time/summer work related to programming instead of irrelevant part-time jobs.
